In this episode of the podcast, Danielle and Edwin delve into the topic of recovery systems and tools that can help improve blood flow, decrease soreness, and increase plasma flow. They discuss the benefits of compression therapy, including the use of hyper ice units and massage chairs, as well as the importance of using heat before an activity to prepare the muscles for exercise. Ice can also be beneficial, but it ultimately depends on the individual's needs.

They also explore the benefits of cold plunge therapy, which can reduce cortisol levels, increase metabolism, and even release dopamine. They recommend doing cold plunges for 11 minutes a week to reap the benefits.

Danielle and Edwin also share a personal story about experiencing a delayed flight and having to deal with a long line at the airport, which prevented them from accessing the tools and resources they needed for recovery. This story highlights the importance of self-care and having access to the proper recovery tools and resources, especially for those who lead active lifestyles.

Overall, this episode offers valuable insights into recovery systems and tools that can help individuals recover from physical activity, as well as the importance of self-care and having access to the resources needed to take care of oneself.
